Back in October I posted about my hot stock dilemma and trying to figure out when and how to plan my stock sales (since I'm more of a buy and hold gal). In particular I had a stock that was up 500% since I purchased it and I was trying to figure out if I should sell it or not.
I ended up selling the stock and making $4300 in profit (tax free since I hold my stock in my Roth IRA) but I did have regrets, what if the stock kept going up and up? So I decided to calendar a two month follow up (which is today) to check and see the status of the stock I sold. I sold the stock at $32, it has hit $34, but today it is at $28.
So, how do I feel. I feel pleased, right now it looks like I made a good decision. I sold close to the peak based on expert research telling me to sell and that research seems to have been correct. We shall see, I will check again next year.
